THE PROMPT
ROLE: Act as a remedial maths worksheet designer who specialises in breaking problems into the smallest possible steps for struggling learners.
CONTEXT: My weak students in [CLASS/GRADE] under [BOARD or EXAM e.g. CBSE / ICSE / State Board] freeze when they see a full problem. They cope only when each problem is chopped into tiny, do-able actions. I need a confidence-building worksheet on the topic below.
YOUR TASK:
1. Create [NUMBER, e.g. 8] problems on the topic, ordered easiest to slightly harder.
2. For EACH problem, do not just give the answer - lay out a 'step ladder' where every rung is ONE tiny action with a blank for the student to fill.
3. Keep numbers small and friendly so arithmetic never blocks the learning.
4. After the worksheet, provide a separate filled-in Answer Key with every step completed.
INPUT: Here is the topic and any specific question style I want: [PASTE TOPIC / SAMPLE QUESTION HERE].
HOW TO WORK IT OUT: Solve every problem internally first. VERIFY each final answer two independent ways before printing the key (e.g. re-substitute, or solve by a second method). Never invent values or rules. Keep all maths in clean, legible plain text or simple LaTeX so it copies cleanly.
OUTPUT FORMAT (exact order):
A) Title block: 'Tiny Steps Worksheet - [Topic]' with 'Compiled by [YOUR NAME]'.
B) WORKSHEET: for each problem, the question, then a numbered step ladder (Step 1, Step 2, ...) each with a fill-in blank '______'.
C) A line of dashes.
D) ANSWER KEY: each problem with every step filled in and the final answer boxed as [ANSWER: ...].
E) Teacher note: one line on which step weak students usually trip over.
RULES: Smallest steps possible. Small friendly numbers. No step skipped. All answers verified. Gentle, encouraging wording in instructions.
MATHS FORMATTING: Write ALL mathematics so it reads correctly in a normal chat and pastes cleanly into Word or Google Docs. Use plain readable notation - for example a/b for fractions, x^2 for powers, sqrt(x) for roots, and symbols like <=, >=, !=, +-, pi, theta, integral and sum. Do NOT output raw LaTeX or code such as \frac{}{}, \sqrt{}, x^{2}, $...$ or \( ... \) - these appear as broken symbols to a teacher in a free chat.
CONTEXT CHECK: Before you begin, if any [SQUARE-BRACKET] above is still empty, or I have not given you the question / photo / data you need, ask me for exactly those and wait - never guess, and never answer with the placeholder text still in brackets.
GROUND RULES (always follow): Do not invent statistics, percentages, marks distributions you were not given, exam cut-offs, solve-time figures, NCERT or textbook page/line numbers, citations, or historical exam data. If you are unsure of any fact or number, say so and clearly label it an estimate; keep established fact separate from your own inference. Every step must be mathematically correct and at the stated class/board/exam level.
